Adebayo's 83-Point Game
Bam Adebayo exploded for 83 points against the Wizards [https://thepicks.com/us/news/nba/bam-adebayo-83-points-miami-heat-wizards-nba-history/], becoming only the second player ever to score that many in an NBA game.
Adebayo's performance puts him in rarefied air, surpassed only by Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game in 1962. The Heat center shot an incredible 76% from the field, making 29 of his 38 attempts. He also went 25-for-27 from the free throw line. The Wizards struggled to contain Adebayo, who dominated in the paint and showcased an array of post moves. His previous career high was 41 points. Miami won the game 154-141, with Adebayo's explosion overshadowing what was otherwise a high-scoring affair.
